At more women in the United States move up the professional ladder, more are finding it necessary to make business trips alone. Since this is new for many, some trips are certainly in order.

The law is a great many of rules, showing when and how far a man is likely to be punished, or to be made to hand over money or properly to his neighbors, and so forth. These rules are contained (包含) in books. A lawyer learns them mainly by reading books.

He begins by doing little else than read, and after he has prepared himself by , say, three years' study to practise, still, all his lifelong and almost every day, he will be looking into books to read a little more than he already knows about some new question which he has to answer.

The power to use books, then is a talent (天资) which the would-be(将要成为的)lawyer ought to have. He ought to be very flexible(灵活的) and fine to make it easy for him to collect ideas from printed words, He ought to be ready in finding what a book contains, and something of an instinct (本能) for where to look for what he wants.

But although this is the power of which he will first feel the need, it is not the most important. A lawyer does not study law to recite; he studies it to use it and act upon the rules which he has learned in real life. His business is to try cases in court and to advise men what to do in order to keep out or get out of trouble. He studies his books in order to advise and to try his cases in the right way.

阅读下列短文，并做每篇后面的题目，从四个选项中，选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。

You know you have to read “between the lines” to get the most out of anything. I want to persuade you to do something equally important in the course of your reading. I want to persuade you to “write between the lines.” Unless you do, you are not likely to do the most efficient kind of reading.

I insist, quite bluntly, that marking up a book is not an act of damage but of love.

There are two ways in which one can own a book. The first is the property right you establish by paying for it, just as you pay for clothes and furniture. But this act of buying is only the first step to possession. Full ownership comes only when you have made it a part of yourself, and the best way to make yourself a part of it is by writing in it. A comparison may make the point clear. You buy a piece of beef and transfer it from the butcher's icebox to your own. But you do not own the beef in the most important sense until you eat it and get it into your blood. I am arguing that books, too, must be absorbed in your blood to do you any good.

There are three kinds of book owners. The first has all the standard sets and bestsellers-unread, untouched. The second has a great many books——a few of them read through, most of them dipped into, but all of them as clean and shiny as the day they were bought. The third has a few books or many-every one of them worn, shaken and loosened by continual use, marked and scribblied (涂写) in from front to back.

Why is marking up a book necessary to reading it ? First, it keeps you awake. (And I don't mean only conscious; I mean wide awake.) In the second place, reading, if it is active, and thinking tends to express itself in words, spoken or written. The marked book is usually the thought-through book. Finally, writing helps you remember the thoughts you had, or the thoughts the author expressed.

1．The third kind of owners of books must be ________.

[　　]

A．experienced readers

B．untidy readers

C．active readers

D．careless readers

2．Marking up a book means ________.

[　　]

A．writing down difficult sentences

B．finding the extra meanings of unknown words

C．writing in the space the ideas you get through careful reading

D．making notes to show you understand what you have read

3．What does the auther persuade you to mark ?

[　　]

A．Whatever you have given deep thought to while reading.

B．Words and sentences that bring up rich ideas.

C．Primary questions that challenge you.

D．Whatever disagreements you may have with the book.

4．A great advantage of marking up a book is ________.

[　　]

A．to absorb all the brilliant ideas it contains

B．to make yourself a part of it, making further inquiry (查询) easy

C．to make yourself conscious that you are reading actively

D．to enable yourself to pick up the book for continual reading

阅读下列短文，并做每篇后面的题目，从四个选项中，选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。

When several different people look at the same person, it is not unusual for each of them to see different things; when you alone observe one behavior or one person at two different times, you may see different things. The following are but some of the factors that lead to these varying perceptions (感知，认知):

(1) Each person's perceptions of others are formed by his or her own cultural conditioning, education, and personal experiences.

(2) Sometimes perceptions differ because of what we choose to observe and how we deal with what we've observed. It is not necessarily true that person perception is based on observations of a particular person. Your observations may be totally controlled by what others have told you about this person; or you may focus (聚焦) primarily on the situation or role relationship. Most people do not use the same yardstick (标准) to measure their parents, their friends, and strangers.

(3) Sometimes we see only what we want to see or don't see what may be obvious to others because of our own needs, desires, or temporary emotional states. This is a process known as selective perception. Selective perception is obviously more difficult when contradictory (矛盾的) information is particularly obvious, but it can be done. We can ignore (忽视) the stimulus -He's basically a good boy so what I was not shoplifting.” We can reduce the importance of the contradictory information  “All kids(孩子) get into mischief (顽皮). Taking a look from the bookstore isn't such a big deal. ” We can change the meaning of the contradictory information  “It wasn't shoplifting because he was going to pay for it later.” …

1．The first factor given by the author that affects our perception is ________.

[　　]

A．the abilities of one's auditory (听) and visual (视) sensors

B．cultural background and personal experiences

C．experiences one learns from others

D．critical measures taken by other people

2．While observing a particular person ________.

[　　]

A．one is likely to take all aspects (方面) into consideration

B．one pays more attention to his/her advantages

C．children often differ from grown-ups in perception

D．one tends to choose certain cues (提示) to look for

3．Observation of the same person by two people at the same time may differ because ________.

[　　]

A．their measuring yardsticks are not the same

B．either of them may be slow to catch information

C．the time for observation is not long enough

D．each of them uses different language to express his/her impressions

4．The word “stimulus” in paragraph 4 refers to ________.

[　　]

A．something attractive

B．selective perception

C．contradictory information

D．shoplifting

5．The worst thing in selective perception is that ________.

[　　]

A．pereived information runs against your desire

B．facts can be totally ignored or distorted (扭曲)

C．importance of the contradictory information can be overrated(估计过高)

D．the same information may not be dealt with in the same way
